Christmas Day!

We had all 7 of our kids for Christmas this year! It was the first year the kids all got to be together and it was AWESOME! After the Christmas Eve festivities, making and leaving out cookies, milk and notes for Santa Claus, making sure Mr. Goody made it onto the tree to let Santa know he should DEFINITELY leave presents and finally the reenactment of the Nativity (which ended up -of course being quite irreverent) the kids were all excited to go to sleep! They all slept upstairs on the beanbags and were warned that NO ONE was to come downstairs and peek until we came upstairs to get them (or else all their presents would be gone :) It worked...(of course) and they ended up sleeping in until 8! We finally went upstairs to see if they were ready to get up!

Too excited to sleep!

We went to the movies after we opened presents. The 3 younger girls and I went to see Frozen while the older 5 went to see Dinosaurs walking with dad. Lucy had to get all dolled up like Minnie Mouse before we could go!
